Banh Tieu

Cultural Context

Originating from Vietnam, Banh Tieu is a beloved street food often enjoyed as a snack or breakfast item. These hollow donuts are known for their light, airy texture and are typically enjoyed fresh, sometimes with a sprinkle of sesame seeds. In modern times, Banh Tieu has gained popularity beyond Vietnam, inspiring variations in other countries, particularly in Chinese cuisine, where similar crullers are found.
